Bottle of Shine is hosting 342,745 Ways To Herd Cats, in which the basic idea is to list 10 books you love that will go on a master list of recommendations from each participant. Then, the challenge is just to read at least 3 books from this list from May 1st through November 30th. A great idea for a challenge! Many on my list of 10 are on others’ lists as well, but hey, good books are good books!
